Increases rates for in-home services to sustain a minimum wage for direct service workers.
HB4662 amends the Illinois Act on the Aging to increase rates for in-home services to $33.92, ensuring a minimum wage of $20.75 per hour for direct service workers. Providers must certify compliance with the wage increase. Rates in subsequent fiscal years must remain at or above the federal approval level. The bill also mandates annual cost reports from providers and requires the Department to amend financial reporting rules to reflect the increased spending requirement. The Community Care Program Advisory Committee is established to advise on service delivery and client needs.
